Bug ID: 361356
Summary: git master 16.07.70 - Suggest replacing waveform in
clip monitor to audio clip details when playing audio
clips
Product: kdenlive
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: User Interface
Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org
Reporter: jesse.dub...@gmail.com
When an audio clip is opened in the Clip Monitor, the display during playback
shows the yellow lines with the audio waveform. I have some considerable
objections to this:
(1) This looks kinda cheesy and unprofessional.
(2) This serves no practical purpose: you can't pinpoint a certain moment in
the audio clip with it, and it doesn't indicate the volume of the audio clip
nearly as accurately as the new (and awesome) volume levels in the Monitor
controls.
I'd encourage considering this: when opening an audio clip in the Clip Monitor,
have an overlay in the Clip Monitor window showing the same details/properties
of the audio clip that would be in the Clip Properties widget. No animation.
Benefits:
(1) This would display much more relevant data to the editor when working with
the audio clip, filling the display with something more helpful for editing.
(2) It would look more professional.
Maybe even consider, in the context menu, replacing the "Overlay Audio
Waveform" at the bottom to "Overlay Audio Clip Details", and have it enabled by
default when working with audio clips. (This is confusing, anyways, since the
bottom option in the context menu and the one in the "Current Monitor Overlay"
sub-menu have the same text, but produce different results.)
Reproducible: Always
Suggested while using Kdenlive 16.07.70 git master build via the
kdenlive-master ppa. Ubuntu 16.04 x64, Unity 7.4.0 desktop environment.
